__________________Today the world has embraced new royal Princesses in the form of Mary of Denmark and Maxima of the Netherlands. But it's questionable whether even these hugely popular, increasingly glamorous future Queens will ever capture the world's imagination in the same way as Diana.As Mario acknowledges: "She really was a true Princess".-www.theroyalist.net-

i liked the postcard for christmas of felipe and letizia of just leonor with the christmas decoration. super cute. in some other forums it was critisised though, because of not representing the spanish christmas traditions, but i must say i think it's a really cute photo.

not so fond about the palace scenery the king and queen chose for their's. quite depressing and not the best choice considering the polemic last year with the "photoshopped image"...

And while the Princess continues with her agenda, the Christmas Cards of the Royal House continue coming. The dukes of Lugo already have sent it. Last year they posed inside a swimming pool and in this occasion they congratulate the holidays with Froilán and Victoria under a tree.

As for the dukes of Palm they have preferred not going out in it. They are their four children, included the smallest, Irene, the managers of wishing all a happy 2007. Don Juan Carlos and Dona Sofía are going to congratulate the holidays with a drawing of the Palace of the Zarzuela and the Princes of Asturias will make it accompanied of the Infanta Leonor.

I don't see a picture on that page :s

...

I believe that there are people who criticizes for criticizing, and that are not satisfied with anything. The decoration is modern, and adapted to a 1-year-old girl who still does not understand what is the Christmas and the one that likes the dolls. (I love the bear¡¡¡)

On the other hand, I do not have very clear which are the Spanish traditions, because really in Christmas decoration, all the traditions are imported. The Spanish in last years have adopted the figure of Santa Claus, and the cities and the houses are decorated with him. The Spanish also use the Christmas tree that is a tradition that did not arose in Spain. Not even the traditional Spanish "Nacimiento", it is not Spanish, because its origin is Italian and was the King Carlos III who brought it to Spain.

As lula said, it seems people criticize for the sake of it! The way I see it, they are more likely to get Leonor to stand there for a photo when there is a bear and some stockings and a 'pretty' christmas scene rather than something that really does not appeal to a young girl like her.
Well I love the card, she is such a cutie
